Providing safe and effective sedation for pediatric patients requires a deep understanding of physiological differences, risk factors, and patient selection. Led by Dr. Jeff Gregerson, this course explores the indications for minimal and moderate sedation in children, including managing anxiety, behavioral challenges, and procedural discomfort. Participants will learn how pediatric anatomy impacts sedation outcomes, increasing the likelihood of airway obstruction and respiratory complications.
The course also covers essential pre-sedation assessments, contraindications, and best practices for monitoring pediatric patients. Through real-world case studies and expert insights, dental professionals will gain the knowledge to identify high-risk patients, minimize complications, and ensure optimal safety. Whether you’re refining your sedation protocols or expanding your pediatric practice, this course provides critical guidance for delivering sedation with confidence and care.
